[QUOTE=rippa32]You dont need to use power chords. In fact Angus uses full chords.[/QUOTE]
he uses them on highway 2 hell, but all the other main songs like tnt,dirty deeds, r&r aint n.p.,and many others, he uses power chords. they are much easier and dont sound like thier out of tune. your right though, there are many songs he uses full chords on.

malcolm is a midget too but hes still taller than angus

[QUOTE=CemetaryGates9]Isn't AC/DC Jack Black's band?[/QUOTE]

:lol: are you serious

YOU ARE A TARD.

[QUOTE=CemetaryGates9]Isn't AC/DC Jack Black's band?[/QUOTE]

Are you serious? AC/DC was started by Angus and Malcolm Young. Tenacious D is Jack Blacks "band"

Hey ac/dc are a great band. They have one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived in Angus Young. Just watch him live especially on the Stiff Upper Lip DVD and u will see what i mean. Their songs are very catchy but they are also very good at entertaining the crowd and their fans. Without ac/dc rock wouldn't be what it is today. They can prove that it doesn't matter if u are the greatest at woteva u do as long as u can tie it all together with the rest of the band.

i beg the differ, angus and mal almost always use the open chord positions because of the fuller tone and sustain.

g & a(except on highway to hell) are almost always used in power chords. i saw an interveiw with angus saying he sometimes uses full chords, but power chords have more balls.

*edit* im not sure about malcom though, your probably right.

Midget eh?
hahaha, maybe short but not a "midget". :lol:

hmm i dunno man, play an open G chord and then play the power chord. Open sounds like its got more balls to me..but meh as if it matters :chug:

Well, inless you have the same guitar and the same setup as Angus you can't really tell which chord (open or power) has more balls. While it may not sound good to you it could sound great to him.

They also get old after listening to them 5 times.

[QUOTE=JonG]They also get old after listening to them 5 times.[/QUOTE]
maybe if you listen to the same song over and over again.

yeah!

im learning to play parts of Back in Black right now

I agree 100%.

My buddies and I have discussed this a lot - the bass and drums have to be the easiest music to play in rock and roll.

The only song that is slightly complex is Thunderstruck, and that's only on the guitar.

Don't get me wrong, I love AC/DC, but still...Phil Rudd's basic Kick Snare Kick Snare gets old FAST.

but thats all AC/DC need a basic drum beat and a simple bass line then some solos and lyrics the songs ae catchy not complex they just wanna make good sounding music not to outdo every other guitarist living they didnt aim to become one of the biggest rock bands ever it just happened all they wanted was to play their music

tere not tecnical, and they dont need to in order to be sucessful

i don't think its about how much skill a band has, its how the music is written and ac/dc must have done it right to have this many followers 30 years on

I sometimes wish Rudd or Williams would do something different, but it doesnt take away from the music.

The emphasis in AC/DC's music is the guitars and vocals not the drums and if you listen to it with this factor in mind, the same simple drum beat doesn't really get old, the heavy simple riffs, soloing and bon scott's vocals are enough to get me firing. If you want a different beat, complexity with cross-rhythms and drum soloing their are plenty of other bands out there to explore that emphasise the drums to a greater extent in their music.

I agree, rather than bashing accadaccas simplicity go listen to something more complex.

I Dunno
 

AMEN

I say AC/DC is one of the best bands and that they actually got us into the whole blues/rock mix. The way they mixed Buddy Holly and put some power chords into it is amazing. true it is repetitave but a lot of bands are. Many of their songs are a little boring but the solos are amazing.

i didnt say they were technical

It does. For the chorus of "You Shook Me All Night Long," it gets old pretty fast.

oh ya!
